Try This: Hats in place of art

In our entryway we have a tall dresser that stands alone on a big wall. For the past six months we've had one of my mom's giant abstract paintings there (she's kind enough to let us borrow pieces often!) Recently we swapped out a few and she took that piece home. Our entry was feeling a little sad and empty for a week or two. I planned to make something, but since my project list is unusually long right now I chose a temporary (and seasonal!) solution to buy some time. Enter: Hats as artwork. Use your own hat collection to create a gallery wall look with just a few thumbtacks! It's too easy to even call this a project, but it made a huge impact in our entry. I love the cozy and casual vibe.

I LOVE this! I have a collection of my grandmother’s vintage hats hat have been sitting in boxes for years…this would be such a great way to display them! And hopefully seeing them everyday would inspire me to try wearing them.

I love this! I have a beautiful and treasured collection of hand fans from my partner and antique ones from his mother. I would love to display them can’t can’t think of and haven’t seen any really chic ways to do this. It’s hard to work with their shape… Does anyone have any tips or examples? TIA

Ha! I just implemented this idea in my bedroom with some gorgeous 50’s hats that I purchased at an auction this past weekend, before you even posted this ;D I adore hats as wall art! They make for such cozy, vintage-y decor.

I did this with my hats when I had a walk-in closet; they were displayed on the back wall. But my cat kept knocking them off whenever she got up onto the shelves, so that didn’t work out very well. Ha! I hope someday I have a big closet so I can do this again! I love displaying hats.

I have a straw hat tacked up onto my bedroom wall right now, but I don’t really have enough hats to make a full wall display of them. This is a great look! I have done something similar with empty picture frames too 🙂
